Hi all,
Can anyone confirm (one way or another) if the new Voltron (Legendary Defender) figures are going to be released in Australia?
check ebay. i think that will be your best bet!
i think i got mine from robot kingdom in the usa years ago.
I saw them at Comic Kingdom in the city (Sydney) but they would be expensive there so I am waiting till they come on retail here
They're made by Playmates aren't they? It's more than likely we'll get them here.
I personally believe they will show up at TRU. TRU currently sell Dinotrux which is a Netflix exclusive show. With that said if TRU are willing to risk selling a previously unknown product advertised through an exclusive payTV service I am sure they will commit to selling a higher profile item such as VOLTRON even if again the show is exclusively available to customers of Netflix.
I just can't simply wait and got my black lion from ebay. Cost me over 100 including postage fee. Why are we taking so long to get these guys. And ya, i will be spewing if its under 90 or 80 dollars. I have messaged playmates in America and they told me they have no idea. Instead they asked me to email playmates international. I am still waiting for the response. It does'nt look good for us. I am wondering if anybody heard any news
BAD NEWS FOR VOLTRON FANS
I recieve this email from playmates
Hi Eddie,

Thank you for your e mail and for your interest in Playmates’ new Voltron product line. We are finalizing plans to distribute these products in Australia probably in late 2017 or 2018. Unfortunately, we are unable to supply Australia consumers directly at this time. May we suggest that you attempt to purchase these products through the on line outlets of major U.S. retailers

Thanks and regards,

I guess ill be getting mine online.
Damn, good thing I've started with Black Lion last week, though now its gonna cost me :mad:
Just got this from ToysRUs:
Hi xxxxxx,
Thank you for your inquiry and our apologies for the delay in responding.
It appears that Toys R Us Australia are due to receive items from the Voltron range in the second half of this year.
This range includes, at this stage, the electronic Voltron with lights and sound, Voltron basic figures, Voltron Deluxe figure, Voltron Role Play, the Transforming Sword, and Voltron Black Lion.
Feel free to contact us towards the end of the year to see if we can provide you with an update.
Kind regards,
Larissa's Signature
So we are going to get them..... but we're going to have to wait a bit. Here's hoping sooner rather than later :)
PC ? PREMIUM COLLECTABLES? Thats the last place ill shop. They never get it before selling and usually takes long before they send their items. I bought mp optimus primal from october and it still have not arrived. Their excuse is cos I'm on a long que. ya right. But hopefuly you will get your lions. If i cant get it from australia cos how slow our economy is going ill have to get it from BBTS or ebay. Kinda feel bad how we have to pay alot to get them here asap and in america and other countries they get there for a cheaper price.
That die cast Voltron will be preordered so fast...

Damn, the die cast ones, very interested to see how they come out. I'm sure Playmates will mess it up somehow.
Just makes me want a super expensive SOC version EVEN MOAR!
The more I see of the new combining Lions the more tempted I am to buy the set. Thought I was done with Voltron when I sold my childhood set but it seems maybe not.
I've given into temptation and ordered the set via TheLittleToyCompany. Bout the same price as a CW combiner. I can dig that.
Thanks to Chileno20 who unknowingly brought the preorder to my attention.
I hope I can get the diecast version when its released.
Probably should have brought this to people's attention but the Voltron stuff was confirmed for November at the Australia Toy Fair.
I found 2 full sets(only 1 set left) of the combining lions in ToysRus Belconnen in Canberra yesterday, $60 black lion, $35 for the other ones
Ugh. I saw them on the website ("new" but "not available") on the weekend and asked at Majura Park. They said they were "in transit" but it might be a month before they arrived. MP and Belco are each getting only two sets in their initial shipments.
Website shows only black lion in stock currently.
Toymate at Top Ryde has the 1st wave of the Voltron toys
I got my set today (but I'd ordered online). These things are big and look great, but I have to wait until the weekend at least before I can open them

Picked up a set at Majura Park. I was told two of each lion per store, but apparently that's just the limbs because there were five or six black lions left.
The Black lions come in a case of 2 (I've have the box!). I'd assume the other lions come in a case of 8 with 2 of each?
Hahaha, no that would make sense. It's a case of one of each limb, so if a store gets equal amounts of each case they have an left over black lion for each complete set. Caused big limb shortages in the states back when they first came out months ago, wouldn't surprise me if they were probably still ongoing
I picked up a set today at Toymates Warriewood. Got them home and my wife promptly took them off me to be put away for a gift. Hope it's father's day. But then again if it's Christmas it's not like I haven't already waited nearly a year.
Funnily enough, I went to Chadstone briefly this morning and they had 12 Black lions - but only 1 Yellow Lion, 1 Red Lion, and 2 Blue Lions. You'd hope they would have ordered enough for full sets...
They also had the basic Lions, and a large lights and sounds Voltron figure but I couldn't find anywhere on the latter where it said the Lions didn't separate. (Still holding a grudge for the massive disappointment I felt when I was much younger and bought a Matchbox Voltron that didn't!)
Father day gift from the wife and kids, I am stoked they thought about it.😁

Thanks for these links. When I plugged Red and Green lions in, I did a little tug to see how they were supposed to disconnect and thought "maybe they don't!".
I tried the tips here and disconnected Green but it's not an intuitive method and odd that the instructions omit any reference to how to do it.
No problem
I thought it might help people when heard this was a wide spread problem with the 16inch Legendary Voltron Lions.
I got the Voltron Legendary BLACK Lion but cant seem to find the others yet....
